GRIPPS® is the global leader in innovative and practical tool tethering and engineered drop prevention solutions for wind power and renewable energy operations.

In wind power and other renewable energy operations, dropped and falling object risks present significant safety challenges, particularly given the heights and environments involved.

Wind turbines require regular maintenance, which often involves working at significant heights. Tools, parts, or even components of the turbine itself can be dropped or fall if not properly secured, posing risks to workers below or even to the structural integrity of the turbine.

Worker safety is a top priority in the wind power industry. It is essential for workers to understand and implement a dropped and falling object prevention strategy or program. With working areas often exceeding 300 feet above ground, securing tools and equipment is crucial. Dropped and falling objects pose a significant hazard, where even a small object like a bolt can generate an impact of 300 pounds, causing injury to workers and bystanders below.

To prevent any incidents, a safety risk assessment must be conducted to evaluate the job environment, identify potential dynamic dropped objects and the appropriate drop prevention solution(s).
